Every day, women come into contact with hundreds of potentially hazardous chemicals where they live and work, whether it's from consumer products or contaminants in the environment. Many of these chemicals have been linked with breast cancer. However, which ones pose the greatest risk and how can we reduce our exposures? These are questions scientists at Silent Spring Institute, a beneficiary of the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade, are trying to answer through an innovative research program on environmental health and breast cancer prevention.
For more than 20 years, Silent Spring Institute based in Newton, Mass. has been investigating the role of environmental factors in the development of breast cancer. A large part of their work centers on endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in everyday products that mimic or interfere with the body's natural system of hormones. Now, the organization is extending its work to include air pollutants as growing evidence suggests that many of the components of air pollution may also increase breast cancer risk.
Back in 2014, with support from the Avon Foundation, Silent Spring evaluated more than a hundred common chemicals that cause mammary tumors in laboratory studies. From that list, the researchers identified 17 types of chemicals as top priorities for breast cancer research and prevention. These include things like flame retardants, stain-resistant chemicals, paint removers, disinfection byproducts in drinking water, and estrogen mimics. The analysis also singled out chemicals in vehicle exhaust as potential risk factors.
"Despite progress over the last 30 years, air pollution from traffic and other sources continues to have a major impact on our environment and our health," says Ruthann Rudel, Silent Spring's director of research. Studies show that proximity to highways and other busy roads can expose communities to a toxic mix of chemicals that place residents at an increased risk for a variety of health problems including asthma, heart disease, and cancer. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, more than 45 million people in the U.S. live within 300 feet of a major road or transportation facility.
To better understand the impact of traffic-related pollution on breast cancer, Silent Spring has begun an innovative study involving workers in the trucking industry in the United States. With funding from the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade, the Institute is analyzing blood and urine samples from 90 truck drivers in conjunction with air samples collected inside their vehicles during their shifts.
"There's lots of overlap between what truckers are exposed to and what people living near high-traffic roadways are exposed to, so we can use this information to better understand the impact of air pollution on breast cancer in other communities," says Rudel. Using metabolomics, a method involving advanced statistical tools, she and her team hope to identify molecular changes in the body—or signatures—that result from exposure to vehicle exhaust, and then link these molecular signatures with early markers of breast cancer risk.
The findings could also have important implications for addressing health disparities. Over the years, studies increasingly show that low-income and minority communities tend to have higher exposures to harmful air pollutants than more affluent neighborhoods. One of the main reasons for that is that poorer communities tend to be clustered around industrial sites, truck routes, and high-traffic roadways. Low-income communities also tend to have less access to health care, and suffer disproportionately from exposures to environmental contaminants linked with cancer.
"That's why prevention efforts that include reducing exposures to harmful air pollutants are so important, not only for reducing the incidence of breast cancer, but also for reducing health disparities by addressing vulnerable populations," says Julia Brody, executive director and senior scientist at Silent Spring.
Brody hopes her team's research will lead to new prevention strategies that focus on creating healthier environments. Lower-emissions standards for vehicles, increased protections for communities living near high-traffic roadways such as vegetation barriers and better air filtration systems in buildings, and policies that discourage construction of housing near freeways could make a real difference, she says.
"No one should get breast cancer from breathing in bad air," says Brody. "Luckily, there are things we can do to make our environment healthier… and help us breathe a bit easier."

About me
I am currently on parental leave. Within the maths department, I have ongoing collaborations with Charl Ras, Alysson Costa, Yao-ban Chan, Billy Tang and Ria Szeredi. I have also worked on a collaborative supply-chain problem with Adrian Pearce, Peter Stuckey, Michelle Blom and Nir Lipovetzky.
I have co-supervised Masters students Sam Thompson and Billy Tang with Dr Charl Ras. Previously, I supervised Ria Szeredi for her summer scholar project and co-supervised Nikki Sonenberg's Honours project.
In 2008 I was awarded my Ph.D with a Chancellor's commendation from Curtin University of Technology in Western Australia. My Ph.D was supervised by Professor Lou Caccetta at the Western Australian Centre of Excellence for Industrial Optimisation (WACEIO); assisted by Dr Stephen Hill (currently at Snowden), Leon Fouche (Rio Tinto) and Dr Palitha Welgama (Rio Tinto). The thesis focussed on modelling and solving large scale integer programs that arise in the equipment selection problem for surface mining. You can get it here (1.83 Mb).
I was subject co-ordinator and lecturer for the Discrete Mathematics component of Discrete Mathematics and Operations Research (MAST20018) in Semester 2, 2013. I have also lectured the Linear Programming component of Discrete Mathematics and Operations Research (MAST20018) in Semester 2, 2010 and 2011, and assisted lecturing in Non-linear Optimisation (620-361) in Semester 2, 2009.
I co-ordinated the MINLP reading group in Melbourne (subscribe here ). From 2009--2011, 2012--2016 I maintained the Optimisation Group website http://www.or.ms.unimelb.edu.au. I also co-administered the OPT mailing list in the same time periods.
I have an Erdos number of 2 (through Lou Caccetta who has an Erdos number of 1). I have a Bacon number of 3 (although I only worked in a play and did not make it to IMDb). My Erdos-Bacon number is 5.
Research InterestsI study network problems in the domain of discrete optimisation, and linear and nonlinear mixed integer programming. In particular, I study heuristics and algorithms for challenging real world problems.
Some applications that have motivated my research include:
$3000 for MERIT Visiting Scholar award for Ambros Gleixner (ZIB). Ambros presented his seminar in September 2013 at the University of Melbourne.

Min-quad Steiner Tree problemCollaborators: Charl Ras and Alysson Costa
We study a convex and non-convex formulation of the min-quad Steiner tree problem. We derive valid inequalities based on geometric properties of the problem, and derive ways to improve computational performance with these.
Supply-chain OptimisationCollaborators: Peter Stuckey, Adrian Pearce, Michelle Blom, Nir Lipovetzky, Jon Lapwood, John Usher, Mike Godfrey and Vish Bhat (Rio Tinto, industry collaborators).
We study a pit-to-port supply chain problem which can be characterised as a layered combinatorial problem: multiple pits supply multiple ports, where each mine and port involves stockpiles with arising nonlinear constraints.
Minimum transmissionCollaborators: Yao-ban Chan, Nikki Sonenberg.
We study an ad hoc wireless telecommunication network where the topology is known and seek relationships in the underlying structure that may help guide near-optimal behaviour when the topology is not known. In particular, we wish to decide on the best transmission range for each node in the network such that the network is sufficiently connected.
Equipment selection for surface minesCollaborators: Yao-ban Chan (University of Queensland), Lou Caccetta (Curtin University), Palitha Welgama (Rio Tinto) and Leon Fouche (Rio Tinto).
Following on from work in my thesis, we study several integer programming formulations of the equipment selection problem for surface mines. We are interested in incorporating important characteristics for the Surface Mining application, such as compatibility of fleets and tracking the utilisation of equipment.

•SiMCO for multiple files.
•F1-SR for their excellent content.
•Daimon for the 3d helmets.
RFE Plugin:
•Just use it for Windows XP/Vista/7 and using an original rfactor game.
•By Slow Motion, Ilo and RFE stuff.
•You need to download updated tracks to this plugin, if not it won't works!! You can do it in the link down of this txt.
Mod features:
•Rival Level:
You can see in the right part of the screen that every driver has a number of level assigned and their level stars. These values are done depending of the driver points standings and results, so that doesn't mean a driver has to be better or worst than the others. The stars and values goes from 50 to 100 and there is a difference of 10 for every star. Of course during a gp it can change depending of the bad luck or crashes that the AI cannot prevent or made by the own user. These values are taken 12th October of 2013 so Abu Dhabi results aren't included.
•Realistic AI
This is the taken data after a qualify during Valencia grand prix. Most of drivers position are usual in every race that we watched. During race, it can change like we said before depending of mechanical problems or crashes.
•Realistics Cams
The cams done by Oli, are quite realistics perhaps it cannot be perfect. Anyway the immersion can be felt better in the driver cam. About the driver arms we think is better to keep them because it is much more realistic that static arms. Something all videogames have are the dinamic moving arms.
•Default Car Setup
First of all in-game you can programme 3 stops as maxinum but never you can add fuel on car, that means you have to put the optimal fuel for the full race. You have to be carefull with tyres, while 20 laps races you should stop 1 time to put new tyres, in sprint races you have to keep. The best option is to attack in the firsts 2 laps, keep tyres, and you try to attack when there are remainding 4 laps. If not you will get in troubles, losing grip and speed on straights. Second, you can choose wet tyres, as the game is adapted to the RFE plugin, which gives the rain plugin to the videogame. But it just will works if you use an original version of rfactor game (buy the game), and your OS has to be Windows XP/Vista/7. Under Windows 8 it doesn't work. The plugin is in the "Add-on" folder when you install the mod.
In this mod, the default Gearbox configuration is quite optimal but probably not the best. In any case for people who don't know how to setup the car it can be very comfortable. Of course it is setup because it could be optimal for every track from the season, but maybe in Monza you can arrive to the limit of the 6th gear. The second is the downforce of the car, from front and rear wing. The limitation is 7 degrees in races, but we limit it for the full grand prix. The mininum speed you can get in max downforce is 283 km/h. But it also depends of the track and terrain, for example in Spa, can be usual that you just get 275 km/h.
One time told you this, we hope you enjoy the mod and we appreciate all the help and support we recived from the social networks and forums.

Visual Field
The entire area that the eye can see from side to side without physically moving the eyes or head (includes peripheral vision).
The portion of the environment that the eye sees, on fixed forward gaze, includes the entire field of vision (central and peripheral) and is measured by a perimetry test. The normal field of vision is about 140 degrees for each eye (monocular vision) and about 180 degrees for both eyes (binocular vision).

Xi heads south on the road to reform
WHEN Deng Xiaoping snuck quietly out of Beijing at the end of winter in early 1992, China was at a crossroads. The hardliners had won the internal Communist battle in 1989, violently putting down the pro-reform protests in Tiananmen Square, banishing reformist Communist Party chief Zhao Ziyang to 16 years of lonely house arrest.

The Port of Seattle and the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency have launched a truck scrapping and replacement program.
Called ScRAPS 2 (Seaport Truck Scrappage and Replacements for Air in Puget Sound), the program's goal is to help truckers calling on Port of Seattle terminals to have model-year 2007 or newer engines, or meet 2007 federal emissions standards, which are aimed at reducing air pollution from port-related activities.
ScRAPS is partially funded by federal and state grants, and is expected to provide up to $20,000 to owners who scrap old drayage trucks and replace them with trucks with model-year 2007 or newer engines. The current level of funding will provide incentives for approximately 180 trucks. This project is expected to run through mid-2015, or until funds are depleted.
Last year, the ports of Seattle, Tacoma and Metro Vancouver pledged to reduce diesel particulate matter (DPM) by 75 percent and greenhouse gas emissions by 10 percent, per ton of cargo, by 2015, according to the ports' updated Clean Air Strategy. Both air pollution reduction targets use 2005 levels as a baseline.

|Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum) This tree is beautiful any time of year. It has light feathery foliage, which turns a rusty orange in the fall and can really glow when the sun shines through it. In the winter you notice the fibrous texture of the bark, the buttressed trunk and the nice form; horizontal branching creates a conical silhouette. It matures at fifty to sixty feet tall, so it works really well as a focal point on a large property, especially next to a pond. bald cypress is generally a healthy tree that thrives in wet soils but is adaptable to moderate or slightly dry soils.

|Oakleaf Hydrangea (Hydrangea quercifolia) As far as versatility, and beauty this shrub ranks among the highest. Although it is readily available, it seems to be under utilized in the garden. Its overall habit is mound shaped, with large lobed leaves, and giant flowers that open in summer and last about 4 weeks. It will live in a sunny location, but does quite well in the shade. Pruning will keep it tighter and smaller, but left to mature it will reach a height of about 7-8 feet, and about 12 feet wide. The leaves turn a rich burgundy in the fall, and persist into December. this plant will enhance any garden.

|Woodland Stonecrop (Sedum ternatum) Sedum ternatum, commonly known as Woodland stonecrop is a wonderful groundcover that is adaptable to both shade and sun conditions. The sedums are well known as tough, drought tolerant plants well suited to green roof applications. Sedum ternatum allows for the same texture and rich color in a shaded location. I use Sedum ternatum in bed areas under mature canopies. Planting in clumps of 5-9 plants allows the grouping to spread above ground and find its way throughout the planting. Sedum ternatum is a great, native groundcover well suited to the Midwestern climate.

I didn't get her cutting at all. She'd done it sporadically, ever since the accident and it scared me each time. She'd try to explain it to me, how she didn't want to die—she just needed to get it out somehow. She felt so much emotionally, she would say, that a physical outlet—physical pain—was the only way to make the internal pain go away. It was the only way she could control it.

Google Paid Search Trends: 1Q17
The proportion of clicks on Google AdWords units originating from mobile phones increased significantly in the first quarter of 2017 (1Q17) compared with the first quarter of 2016, according to recent research from iProspect.
The report was based on 1Q17 paid search data from 1,300 Google AdWords accounts and more than 176,000 active campaigns.
Some 59% of clicks on Google paid search units in 1Q17 came from mobile phones, up 24% from 1Q16; 32% of clicks in 1Q17 came from desktop computers, and 10% from tablets.
Although smartphones accounted for a larger share of paid search clicks in 1Q17, the average clickthrough rate (CTR) for mobile units decreased 27% from 1Q16 levels.
That decrease in CTR was likely because of Google's introduction in mid-2016 of additional paid search units on mobile SERPs as well as increased competition for mobile inventory.
Cost per click (CPC) increased for paid search units across all devices from 1Q16 to 1Q17, with the largest increase coming from mobile (up 42%); desktop and tablet CPCs increased 26% and 18%, respectively.

The Zodiac killer's apparent interest in The Mikado has long puzzled many researchers and detectives. Recently I came across several articles in the Stanford Daily newspaper from the Zodiac era, which began to intrigue me and so I decided to dig a little deeper. A picture started to emerge and I believe I may be able to offer some plausible reasons for the Zodiac's sojourns into Gilbert and Sullivan opera and his apparent interest in compass directions. In order to get my head around the articles, I decided to write up a chronological timeline of events, cross-referenced with some of the Zodiac's timeline (following).
Zodiac's "Stanford" timeline:
July 31st 1969: The Zodiac first introduces the concept of "Paradice" in his letters.
August 4th 1969: The killer uses the name "Zodiac" for the first time.
October 24th 1969: The Stanford Daily publishes an article written by Craig Wilson which lampoons the San Francisco Examiner's recent letter to the Zodiac. Basically intended as playful satire, the author went so far as to deride the Zodiac and invites him to their next staff meeting. It read;
'Let there be no more killing. But if you must, try Paul McCartney. Police say you are intelligent. If you are, give yourself up and face execution. You are being hunted everywhere in he state and nation. But don't get jumpy. You are alone in this world. Have you noticed that most of your friends have deserted you? You are as much a victim of your crimes as those whose lives you snuffed out. Of course you do seem to be in better condition. You cannot walk the streets a free man. Of course, we have no idea who you are. But you will be caught, there is no doubt. The police have staked out every school bus in town and Melvin Belli has been made a permanent guest on every talk show in the Bay Area. You face life as a hunted, tormented animal—unless you help yourself. Surrender. We have plenty of cages available. We ask that you give yourself up to The Daily. We offer you no protection, and no sympathy. But we do offer you the best medical help available and all the benefits your legal rights afford. We offer you the opportunity to transfer into our fine institution. We offer you a trailer in Manzanita Park. We offer you a ticket to see Stanford in the Rose Bowl. We offer you all the plastic cups we can produce with your signature and photograph. The food service has consented to feed you chocolate ice cream even if it isn't available. We offer you a plastic dolly. We offer you a seat in the balcony at the flicks. We offer you credit in Professor Erlich's Population Biology course. And best of all we offer to tell YOUR STORY! Why have you killed? We will give you everything. Your horoscope for today says your anger at society is unwarranted, that you will soon come into great fortune. We offer you a subscription to Fortune magazine. We invite you to our staff meeting on Monday at noon. Lunch is free. If you have other things to do, call the Daily anytime. Ask for anyone. We are a community newspaper. The telephone number is 321-2300 x 4632. Call collect, what the hell. Your call will not be traced. We cordially invite our neighborly newspaper The Palo Alto Times to give you a better deal. Just cut your hair and mumble "kk l hate radicals." Chances are they will make a more promising overture. Just remember Mr. Zodiac, you are being hunted everywhere in he state and nation. There is no safety for you, anywhere.' http://stanforddailyarchive.com/
October 31st 1969. Dr John I. Maurer publishes a letter that is very critical of Craig Wilson's satirical article. It is interesting that Dr Maurer chastises the letter writer, rather than directly warn about the obvious dangers of riling the Zodiac! Dr Maurer calls the letter "stupid", "tasteless" and "inappropriate", and "distressing" because of its "callous insensitivity" towards people with mental health problems. Perhaps the good doctor was merely trying to appease the Zodiac in the event that the killer actually did read the comments? I believe the man in the following link is the Dr John Maurer from that time, but I could be wrong. See: http://health.usnews.com/doctors/john-maurer and Stanford Daily Archive October 31st 1969
Sandwiched between those two articles is one written by Marshall Schwartz which outlines a card "game". It contains diagrams showing NSWE seating. I found this very reminiscent of the Zodiac's NSWE compass diagrams which he provided in the Mt. Diablo letter.
Below this article is a review of The Mikado, which the Zodiac later refers to in his "little list" letters of 24 July 1970 and 26 July 1970. A very observant friend of mine spotted another possible Zodiac-related "clue" in that same edition of the Stanford Daily. It is hidden right next to another of the articles from Oct 31, 1969. Stanford Daily Archive October 31st 1969
And there is yet another very obvious "Zodiac" reference in the same edition (SEE RIGHT). The Stanford Daily, Volume 156, Issue 26, 31 October 1969 — Page 10 Advertisements Column 6 [ADVERTISEMENT].
Stanford Daily Archive October 31st 1969
The cartoon is interesting for another reason too. Charles Manson often expressed a deep admiration and respect for the indigenous peoples of the Americas.
There could well be more of these kinds of clues and references in those papers, that could be found with a bit more digging. I note for example that Steve McQueen is also referenced in an advertisement right next to the Electric Zodiac article, and we now know McQueen was one of the prominent people on the Manson Family's "death list".
I contend that the Zodiac did actually read the satirical letter in the Stanford Daily and he also read Dr. Maurer's reply. He has noticed the coincidental Electric Zodiac article on page 4 of that same newspaper, and has latched on to the NSWE diagrams and The Mikado article. I believe he has later adapted these ideas into his letters, Mt. Diablo map, and compass diagrams on 26 July 1970 and 26 June 1970 (e.g. "0 is to be set to Mag. N."), and his "little list" letters of 24 July 1970 and 26 July 1970. I therefore believe that the Zodiac got some of his ideas from the Stanford Daily issue of 31 October 1969.
Why he did this is anybody's guess. But in my opinion this may have been his way of replying to the derisive letter published about him on 24 October 1969. By referencing things from the newspaper and mixing them with implied threats, he was showing that he had not forgotten about the newspaper article.
This kind of behaviour is typical of a person that tends to hold grudges for a very long time. It is also highly suggestive of someone who is anti-social or sociopathic, perhaps also paranoid, and who obsesses over trivial details for very long periods.
This kind of person potentially has a photographic memory with a strong desire to continually recall and relive past events. We have seen ample evidence of this kind of ritualistic behaviour in other serial killers, such as "BTK", Dennis Rader.
The title of Marshall Schwartz's article also interests me. He calls it "Doubled Up", which tends to refer to pairs of dice when referencing games of chance. And this makes me immediately think of the Zodiac's ideas of "games" and "paradice". The Zodiac may have intentionally spelt "paradice" that way in order to indicate an association with games and "pairs of dice". However the Zodiac's idea precedes the Stanford Daily articles by several months. In fact The Zodiac first introduces the concept of "Paradice" on 31 July 1969. But there is a semantic similarity evident between the words "Doubled up" and the Zodiac's Mount "Diablo".
The Zodiac drew the following creepy picture in the infamous Halloween "BOO" card that he sent to Paul Avery at the San Francisco Chronicle on October 27th 1970. The card was clearly intended to rattle Avery. It has been speculated that the card may have been the Zodiac's retaliation for Avery having called him a "latent homosexual" in one of his articles.
November 5th 1969: Someone claiming to be the Zodiac calls emergency and threatens to be on Stanford Campus in 10 minutes. Two hours later, nobody showed. This was possibly a hoax perpetrated by a student, and the entire story may be fictional, as campus rags sometimes invented such stories simply for their shock value. According to the article writer, the police took the matter very seriously. I cannot verify if this event actually took place in the days prior to 5 November, but I have a feeling the story may be true. Given that the Zodiac appears to have "borrowed" or rehashed ideas from that newspaper and re-worked them for his own agenda, does make it seem like he had revenge on his mind.
October 12th 1974: Arlis Perry is murdered in STANFORD at the Stanford Memorial Church. The crime showed some of the hallmark modus operandi of the Zodiac killer. If he was responsible, was the Zodiac still enacting his revenge on Stanford? I wonder about this, given that the date of her killing was in October, the very same month in which Craig Wilson's satirical and mocking article appeared in the Stanford Daily !! Could the Zodiac have held a grudge for a full 5 years? I think he did, because less than 10 months beforehand he had repeated more lines from The Mikado in his so-called Exorcist letter of 29th Jan 1974: "He plunged himself into the billowy wave and an echo arose from the suicide's grave, titwillo titwillo titwillo".
Another point to note is that on the page immediately following Craig Wilson's mocking and taunting letter to the Zodiac, there appeared an article about the Catholic faith and an advertisement for the Stanford Memorial Church! Coincidence? Well yes, the placement of the Stanford Memorial Church ad and the articles clearly were the result of chance, as they were never intended for the Zodiac. BUT the Zodiac was most likely a psychopath! At the very least he showed the capacity to be a vengeful egotist. I am convinced that the Zodiac selected various ideas from the same editions of the Stanford Daily that contained articles pertaining to him, and he found ways to incorporate those subjects and themes into his revenge. His aim was basically to "mock" and taunt Stanford in return, using the only methods that he believed he could control.
The Zodiac's Revenge on Stanford?
Now I am the first to admit I know very little about psychopaths or how they think, but I believe many a psychopath has made it their mission in life to exact revenge against the people who they think have wronged them. I believe the Zodiac was egotistical and vindictive, and also vengeful.
I may have already provided a plausible reason for the Zodiac's sudden interest in seemingly disparate things like The Mikado and compass directions. I now think these were all a part of his crazy and elaborate way of expressing his revenge on the Stanford Daily newspaper for having mocked and taunted him. But apart from the threatening phone call, it is highly likely that none of the staff or students ever noticed the connections with the things the Zodiac was to later write about in his letters. If it is a case of what came first the chicken or the egg, it is very clear to me that from the above timeline the Stanford Daily newspaper articles came first and the Zodiac's rehashing of subject matter relating to articles from those same newspapers came later.
Listed below are some of the murders that occurred on Stanford University, or which involved recent graduates of the university, that I think can possibly be attributed to the Zodiac. I know I may be getting into Charles Manson, Ted Bundy / Son of Sam "territory" here, but I think it also intersects with what we know about the Zodiac.
I personally think that the Zodiac was out for revenge because of that derogatory student article about him in 1969. He wanted pay back and decided to take away some of Stanford's bright young people as a form of retribution. And moreover, in his typically cryptic and overthe-top manner, he had even tried to "clue people in" to this fact, perhaps even to warn them.
By referencing things from that same issue of the Stanford Daily, such as The Mikado - from a page that coincidentally also mentioned the name Zodiac - he was telling everybody that he had not forgotten about the article that had humiliated him. We should also remember that the 1969 article by Craig Wilson had also presented him with an open invitation to visit the campus at a day and time of his choosing. I personally believe the Zodiac followed up on this invitation in his own way.
As for why he didn't go after Craig Wilson or any of the other newspaper staff, I think this is in keeping with the Zodiac's M.O. He never went after Paul Avery or anyone else from the San Francisco Chronicle. But he would kill somebody else in a seemingly random and unmotivated way as a form of "payback". He killed as if in a predatory and opportunistic manner. For the most part, he seemingly selected his victims at random, but we also know from his attack on two civilians at Lake Berryessa that he may have stalked some of his victims beforehand. The elaborate costume that he wore in this case suggested considerable advance planning.
We know from his letters, that the Zodiac intended any attack on an individual to have far greater meaning than the death of an individual. It was intended as an attack on an entire city or place e.g. "San Francisco" or "society" as a whole. Basically he wanted families to suffer, schools to mourn, and whole communities to tremble in fear. It was very much an anonymous ego trip for him. So I think when he decided to enact revenge on Stanford, the same rules applied. He selected young campus students and graduates – people who were not only loved and cherished, but potentially among Stanford's brightest and best and most beautiful.
As to why the Zodiac fell silent early in 1974 is anyone's guess. Some experts believe he got nervous after almost getting caught leaving the scene of Paul Stine's murder. It is therefore possible that he was deliberately keeping a low profile or he may even have skipped town. Others speculate he may have committed suicide or ended up in a mental asylum. He may have been incarcerated after committing some other offense that was not linked to the Zodiac case. Then he just "fell through the cracks". Of course, another theory is that he just kept on killing, but had decided not to advertise and boast about his crimes like before.
I am not saying that all of the following murders can be attributed to the Zodiac, but I think some of them possibly could be.
March 24th 1974: Janet Ann Taylor, 21, daughter of former athletic director Chuck Taylor, was found strangled by hand near the intersection of Mayfield Ave. and Junipero Serra Blvd. The murder was strangely similar to Perlov's: she too died by strangulation and was not molested. Her purses were missing and she was found barefoot in a raincoat. The theft of a trivial amount of money is reminiscent of the murder (attributed to the Zodiac) of taxi cab driver Paul Stine on 11 October 1969. Stanford Daily Article.
Photograph on left: King of Hearts
And of course the central shape is again highly reminiscent of common Masonic symbolism. Other researchers have noted similarities with Satanic symbolism and in some cases possible
And there was one more suspicious death involving a member of Stanford University.
July 18th 1976: Edward McNeill, postdoctoral researcher in chemistry, was found strangled and bound with adhesive tape in his Menlo Park apartment.
"A coroner's examination indicated that he may have been bound with adhesive tape and strangled. The body of Edward McNeill. 25. was discovered Tuesday night by his landlady and a friend in his apartment at 782 Coleman Avenue. The coroner's examination disclosed that he had been dead for approximately two days and tentatively designated strangulation as the cause of death. The examination also discovered traces of adhesive tape on McNeill's hands and mouth. "We're still in the preliminary stages of the investigation," said Deputy Chief Robert Brickley of the Menlo Park police." Stanford Daily Article.
Manson's ATWA symbolism (see image on left) is remarkably like the Zodiac's symbolism. This logically suggests the two identities may have been associated in some way. Many people claim the similarities are merely the result of coincidence or a desire for other anti-social types to "copy-cat" in order to gain publicity for their own crusades and agendas. It is of course possible that Manson merely borrowed the Zodiac's symbolism to help publicize his beliefs and agenda. Notoriety tends to breed notoriety, and we see other copycats like Son of Sam later trying to glom on to the Zodiac persona. Nevertheless there are some striking similarities in the symbolism. It would appear that some of the symbols used by the Zodiac were later rehashed by Manson, however some of Manson's symbols may have actually predated their use by the Zodiac. Here is a sample of ATWA symbolism from the Manson cult. Symbol for Air, Trees, Water, Animals. I cannot help but notice that the shape is very reminiscent of the body arrangement of Arlis Perry at the Stanford Memorial Church. There has long been speculation that either Manson or the Zodiac were responsible for her murder, however the finger has also been pointed at obscure Satanic cults.
Thanks again to Ray Jenkins.

ISWAI continues to grow with RHP
Fri 17th Aug
ISWAI was founded by Caggie Dunlop when she left E4's hit reality TV show Made in Chelsea with the aim of offering young designers the opportunity to showcase their talents. Its intention was also to offer young women an alternative to high street fashion but still at affordable prices. Caggie herself has huge creative input and liaises with young designers as well as being the face of the brand.
ISWAI describes itself as a "free-spirited brand that marches to the beat of its own drum." The ISWAI ethos draws on Caggie's own personal style of "off-beat, not too perfect, but individual" pieces that encourage females to show their personality in the clothes they wear. The brand is now embarking on the second phase of its journey – developing into an aspirational lifestyle brand for young women.
Red Hot Penny will be working with ISWAI on their social media platforms, ensuring that the brand identity is properly emulated in content that not only engages readers, but gains coverage for their design studio of products. Red Hot Penny will also be aiding ISWAI with their search engine optimisation, helping their products to rank highly for their unique style and affordable price tags.
"We are really looking forward to working with the talented team at RHP to help us grow ISWAI into an established, aspirational and affordable lifestyle brand for young women" Caggie Dunlop and Sarah Rutherford.

I live in a fairly typical suburb outside of Chicago – about 50,000 people, lots of families, good schools and many strip malls. From Target to Starbucks to PF Changs, I can pretty much be anywhere in less than five minutes.
One strip mall houses three of my (former) favorite places: Orange Theory Fitness, Chipotle and Whole Foods. I could squeeze in my work-out, shop at Whole Foods to pick up food for dinner and treat myself to Chipotle about once a week for lunch (eating twice as many calories as I worked off). As a cooking teacher, I shopped at Whole Foods a few times a week. Chipotle was hands-down my daughters' favorite fast food restaurant; if we had an evening when there wasn't time to make dinner, it was always their first choice. It was also our go-to place on Saturday afternoon if Friday night had been particularly festive.

Of those 62 mass shootings, a majority of the shooters were mentally ill - and many displayed signs of mental illness before setting out to kill. What is Mental Illness? (http://www.nami.org) Mental illnesses include depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and borderline personality disorder. A mental illness is a medical condition that disrupts a person's thinking, feeling, mood, ability to relate to others and daily functioning. Laws and Logic Possession of a Firearm by the Mentally Ill: Treatment: Should people who are being treated or have been previously treated for mental illness be allowed to own guns? Treatment is varies depending on the type of mental disorder.

Mental Illness Stop Handgun Violence Over a million people have been killed with guns in the United States since 1968, when Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy were assassinated. Gun violence impacts society in countless ways: medical costs, costs of the criminal justice system, security precautions such as metal detectors, and reductions in quality of life because of fear of gun violence. These impacts are estimated to cost U.S. citizens $100 billion annually. NICS Improvement Act: State "shall issue laws" require state and local authorities to issue licenses to individuals authorizing the carrying of a concealed firearm as long as the individuals meet a list of criteria. The most recent NICS Improvement Act was passed in 2007 as a result of the Virginia Tech shooting.
The Act addressed loopholes in background checks for purchasing guns. It has been suggested that shall issue laws reduce violent crime by facilitating the carrying of concealed weapons by non-criminals. Proof of residency within the state
A minimum age
Fingerprints for a background check
No record of mental illness
Proof or certification from an acceptable handgun safety class
Submitting the required application fee The criteria for issuance of a license include: The campaign was named after James Brady who was permanently disabled after an assassination attempt. Grassroots activism consists of a group of like-minded people coming together for a cause they believe in. For every time a gun injures or kills in self-defense, one is used: 7 times in criminal assault or homicide, 11 times for a completed or attempted suicide, and 4 times in an unintentional shooting. "No background check" sales account for 40% of handgun sales in the U.S. Possession of a firearm by the mentally ill is regulated by both state and federal laws. When completing the federal and state gun-purchase applications, the gun buyer must answer the question "Have you ever been declared incompetent or involuntarily committed to a mental institution?" The federal and state authorities do not have the means to verify the accuracy of the answers provided for the mental health question. After completing the application, the prospective gun buyer's name is checked against the data contained in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). National Instant Criminal Background Check is a criminal-record database; however, the records of involuntary mental hospital commitments is inaccurate. Why is this? (http://www.gunsandammo.com/2005/03/01/mental-illness-and-gun-ownership/) There are about 3 million living Americans who have been involuntarily committed. The NCIS database only contains about 90,000 of these individuals. Currently, there are only 17 states that provide information on involuntary commitment for inclusion in the NICS database. Proposal Diagnosis: History of Gun Violence + Mental Illness Depression - people suffering from depression have intense feelings of sadness, loss of interest things he/she used to enjoy... and it may last for awhile.
19 million Americans are living with major depression.
Schizophrenia - A chronic, severe, and disabling brain disorder that affects about 1.1 percent of the U.S. population age 18 and older in a given year.
Bipolar Disorder - A serious medical illness that causes shifts in mood, energy, and ability to function. Also known as a manic depressive illness.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder - An anxiety disorder characterized by chronic anxiety, exaggerated worry and tension, even when there is little or nothing to worry about.
Post traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) - An anxiety disorder that some people get after seeing or living through a dangerous event.
Borderline Personality Disorder - A serious mental illness marked by unstable moods, behavior, and relationships. A mental health screening gives an overall picture of how well a person feels emotionally and how well he/she is able to think, reason, and remember. The screening can be done by your primary care doctor or by a psychiatrist, psychologist, or social worker. (http://www.webmd.com/mental-health/mental-health-assessment) The screening is primarily used to find out about and check on mental health problems, and/or to check the mental health of a person who has been placed in an institution or arrested of a crime. Seung-Hui Cho, the Virginia Tech shooter, was able to purchase a gun even though he had been ruled a danger to himself by Virginia Court. However, there has not been an NICS Improvement Act addressing the issue that states do not have to submit disqualifying mental health records to the NICS. Along with the mandatory mental health screening prior to purchasing a firearm, those who are being treated, or have previously been treated, should regularly meet with a doctor to determine mental stability. Severity of mental illness would determine the regularity of meetings.
Those diagnosed with severe mental illness and/or involuntarily admitted to a mental institution will be denied. Proposal As well as requiring the mental health screening, states are required to submit ALL mental health records to the NICS to successfully prevent those who are danger to themselves and society from purchasing firearms. To reduce gun violence in the future, there needs to be improvements made to current gun control laws. In addition, there needs to be laws requiring all gun buyers to pass a background check and mental health screening before the purchasing of a firearm- no matter where or who they buy it from.

Strengthening background check system for gun sales.
Ensuring quality coverage of mental health treatment.

Sandy Hook:
Adam Lanza was believed to have had Asperger's Syndrome. Violent Crimes: A study conducted by The Foundation for Research on Mental Health and the Law found that former mental patients were slightly more prone to violence than the general population.
Since former mental patients were found more violent, we propose the following to help reduce gun violence: More than 90% of people who commit suicide have a diagnosable mental disorder. Nearly 1 in 5 violent offenders in prison, jail or on probation were identified as mentally ill. (http://www.crimeinamerica.net/category/mental-illness/) Those with schizophrenia are nearly 20 times more likely to kill another person as people unaffected by the disease. (http://healthland.time.com/2012/07/31/mass-murder-and-mental-illness-the-interplay-of-stigma-culture-and-disease/) 5 to 10 percent of murders are committed by the mentally ill. (www.nimh.nih.gov/health/topics/) Mental Illnesses: No single law or set of laws will put an end to gun violence.
However, we believe the following improvements will help prevent gun violence:
Mandatory health screenings,
Submitting mental health records to NICS,
and Background checks. 2nd Amendment Purpose: to maintain a standing militia Militia Act of 1903 improved National Guard National Guard and Police Force make an informal militia unnecessary. References Personal gun ownership causes more harm then good. 12,664 murders in 2011. 8,583 involved fire arms,
6,220 involved hand guns. (http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2011/crime-in-the-u.s.-2011/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-8) Crime is supposed to get harder as we advance... Better security leads to less theft,
Better guns lead to more effective killing machines,
Better police tactics lead to more arrests, Violence committed with guns is easy to commit... No matter how easy the government finds it to solve gun violence, it will still occur because the wrong person was able to get their hands on a gun. Why is gun violence still happening?

Product Details
The Roto Innovations Shower Tube with 300 micron Sieve, Complete With 50 litres of Crystal Bio and Fittings.
The Roto Shower Tube requires Less than 60 seconds to clean, thats right, LESS THAN 60 SECONDS CLEANING TIME
Crystal Bio is an extremely lightweight "shower" media, available at a fraction of the cost of existing "shower" media but offering improved results
Bacteria living on all submerged biological filter media will multiply and colonise the media at an improved and faster rate if oxygenated. This is why shower filters are the best form of filtration for koi ponds, the shower media, in this case Crystal Bio is used in a Shower Filter and exposed to the air, and as air costs nothing to produce you do not need to run an expensive air pump, like you do with other media, to aerate your filter media and improve the size of the bacterial culture.
Every piece of Crystal Bio has a protected area or static zone designed to be the perfect environment for micro animals, not just bacteria. Once colonised each piece of Crystal Bio will contain millons of these micro animals, all filtering many thousands of times their own volume every minute, searching for their food source. These micro animals will feed on small particles such as, fish waste, dead bacteria, algae and organic matter.
By using Crystal Bio on your Koi pond today you will see the benefits of sparkling healthy water, high in oxygen content with low BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand). The surface area of crystal Bio is massive, up to 10 times the surface area of most well know plastic media with 100 litres of Crystal Bio equalling up to 1000 litres of plastic media, imagine the cost and space of that filter.
Crystal Bio is a unique, eco-friendly glass media, heated in excess of 900°C, creating a hyper-connecting glass cell structure.
This produces media with a surface-area at least ten times greater than most plastic alternatives.
The Shower Tube with Sieve is a complete biological filter and sieve in one unit.

Free or Fee Wiki Tools
To wiki requires wiki style software running on a local networked computer of your own or a hosted service. Long lists of wiki hosting services or wikiware applications themselves are readily available. Just as there are web server and blog servers providing free file storage and Internet sharing services, there are also wiki servers providing free hosting services. Users have taken to calling these wiki farms. Some wiki farms are free and some charge. There are many pages with lists of wiki farms: Wikipedia/wiki farms; Google Directory; Yahoo Directory. However, searches for comparisons, reviews or evaluations of wiki farm services have yet to be successful.
Others have focused on the software applications that run wiki services and have made comparison tables of wikiware options (splitbrain; wikipedia). Choices and features change frequently, so doing your own research is essential to having current information. Narrowing these choices from the over 100 available wiki applications can be helped by referring to top ten lists. Even the top ten lists have trouble staying current. One of the most recent developments in the wiki universe is the concept of an enterprise wiki, a set of intranet documents that anyone in the organization can edit or annotate, such as provided by Socialtext and Jotspot which function like wikis but add additional structure.
Free services include free hosting services and free wiki server software, in contrast to paying a fee for more features or buying wiki server software.
Still open to debate is the early leadership in wiki hosting. Just as there are variations in blog software depending on the hosting service, so is the case with wiki servers. The features you want will determine the choice of wiki farm. One of those critical features is RSS service for notification of wiki page changes. This includes: Socialtext; Kwiki; Purple Wiki; and JSP Wiki.
For a quick experimentation with the wiki way, follow this link get your first wiki page posted at http://riters.com/?content=Make%20A%20Wiki.

Vice Receives Essence of eCampus Award
Dr. Janna Vice, senior vice president for academics and provost, is the first ever recipient of the Essence of e-Campus Award. She was presented with the honor by Tim Matthews, executive director of the Office of eCampus Learning, at the eCampus Awards Program (eCAPS) on Dec. 1.
"This award is intended to recognize individuals who consistently exhibit those qualities we feel are central to the success of EKU Online degree programs. And there is no better candidate for the first ever Essence of e-Campus Award than Dr. Janna Vice," said Matthews.
Vice has been an unwavering supporter of online degree programs at Eastern Kentucky University. The Office of eCampus learning has been under her direction since September 2011.
"She spearheaded a campus wide consensus building process in 2011 involving the deans, staff, and - most importantly – the faculty to craft the model that has led to the success we enjoy today," recalled Matthews.
That model is one that supports growth in a strategic, cost efficient way, while ensuring that sufficient resources are dedicated to ensure a quality educational experience for students. Vice also championed the use of Quality Matters, a rubric designed to measure course quality, in the instructional design process.
Essence of eCampus Award recipients demonstrate the following characteristics:
Accountability – to themselves, to each other, and to the programs and students they serve. This includes demonstrating a work ethic that gets things done
Quality – working hard to deliver quality processes, quality course designs, and quality instruction
Teamwork and collaboration – understanding that the combined action of the group will help us reach our highest goals
Warmth and kindness – valuing people, their talents, and their contributions
Humility – not seeking credit, even though it may be richly deserved

My Goldie is a RUBBISH hunter!
My Golden Gecko is not the worlds greatest hunter. However hard he tries he just can't catch crickets. I must admit that this is my first ever Gecko. I've read numerous care sheets and none state that this is a common problem so I'm not sure what's wrong. I feed him at around 8pm and I give him 2 or 3 wax worms (one day a week) and mango or banana every other day (he doesn't seem to like his greens) and he eats them no problem. I've tried him on size 3,4 & 5 crickets and he rarely catches even one although he does try. It's like they're too fast for him. So for the 6 weeks I have had him he has mainly eaten the fruit and a few wax worms and his skin is now looking dry but not sure if its due to poor diet or he could just simply be due a shed I'm not sure how often he sheds? Any advice is gratefully accepted. Thanks.

My Goldie is a RUBBISH hunter!
Goldies shed roughly once a month. They normally do it at the dead of night and, unless sick, will eat the evidence.
The tank should be humid. I'm talking 75% some humid. If you aren't misting his tank throughout the day or he isn't with a fogger, it may be why his skin is dry.
Waxworms are addictive, as is fruit. He may be half-hearted about eating the crickets because they don't taste as good as the addictive stuff you're giving him already. It's like only feeding a kid McD's, then trying to feed them spaghetti out of nowhere. For now, stop giving him that junk. Don't feed him for a week. And don't worry, they have a very slow metabolism; one week wont do anything to his weight (and if it does, see a vet about parasites.) Then give him either some large crix, or put a few of the liveliest mealworms you can find in an in-escapable cup/dish. You're welcome to put the mealies in with a tiny bit of fruit if he isn't enticed at first. After you put the food in the tank, turn off the light and go to bed/leave the room. Check in the morning to see if any are missing. Trust me, you'll hear him charging forward to grab a bug.
Also, golden geckos are insectivores. Insects only. That's why he wont eat vegetables. They eat fruit as a once a week to once a month snack, but don't do it for a while. Feed him a staple food, such as crickets, mealworms, silkworms, or small roaches (if you can find them). You can also try feeding him one superworm. Superworms are more nutritious than crickets/mealies, but also have a little bit of fat. I put them into a gecko's diet for variety. Waxworms and butterworms are 'fatty worms', addictive, and should only be given as a snack or not at all. Do not feed pinkies or 'giant mealworms'; both cause internal discomfort.
Can you give me a rundown of your set up, what your temps/humidity are, what type of bulb are you using (if you're using a lamp), and what type of calcium are you dusting on the insects? If possible, give a picture of the tank.
